Questão jurídica principal
Whether the husband showed a material and lasting change in income justifying modification of the separation maintenance order.
Decisão extraída
No. The appellate court's refusal was arbitrary because it did not explain why the first-instance evidence was insufficient and why additional proof after 5 August 2012 was necessary.
Fundamentação extraída
For modified protective measures, a substantial and durable change must be made credible. The court must coherently explain why it departs from first-instance findings. Here, the record already covered 17 months of wages and did not justify rejecting the claimed income change.
